President Joe Biden issued a proclamation today commemorating Law Day and the importance of the rule of law in America. In the proclamation, Biden states that “respecting the rule of law also means supporting equal access to justice.” In addition, American Bar Association President Deborah Enix-Ross issued a statement calling on the legal community as well as the public to join efforts to rebuild trust in American institutions and respect for one another and be willing to collaborate to address challenges that face the nation. Law Day was established in 1958 to educate the public about important concepts such as the rule of law and equality under the law. It is celebrated every May 1 through special events, classroom presentations and pro bono clinics.
